Study schedule
To successfully complete the Bachelor’s study program in Production Engineering, students must acquire 210 credit points (CP). Studies are divided into modules.

The modules are structured according to areas of study:
Compulsory part 133 CP
Compulsory electives (with specialist fields) 31 CP
General Studies 34 CP
In the first 4-5 semesters you learn the scientific and technical basics, and also participate in two projects where you make initial experiences of engineering applications. In semesters 5-7, students build on these basics and learn more about practical applications. Studies conclude with the Bachelor thesis.

Specializations / specialist fields

At the current time, the study program offers the following specialist fields:

• Energy Systems (ES), Prof. Dr. Fabio La Mantia (FG30) pdf
• FManufacturing Engineering (FT), Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Carsten Heinzel
• Production Engineering for Aerospace (LuR), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel S. Herrmann (FG12)
• Mechanical Engineering (AM), Prof. Dr. Marc Avila
• Materials Sciences (MW), Prof. Dr.- Ing. Hans-Werner Zoch (FG11)
• Process Engineering (VT), Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Udo Fritsching

You are also able to choose specialist fields in the subsequent master’s study program. You are not obliged, though, to choose the same specialist fields you studies in the Bachelor’s program.

Admission requirement is a pre-studies placement

One of the admission requirements is that you must have completed an eight-week full-time placement before you can take up your studies. During the eight-week pre-studies placement, you should acquire elements of basic knowledge that are relevant for your future studies in Production Engineering. This should include basic knowledge in handling machines and processing the materials you will meet in the course of your studies. For this reason, the eight-week pre-studies placement must include initial experience in the following areas of metal working:

1. Machining processes (e.g. filing, turning, planing, milling, drilling)
2. Forming and reshaping processes (e.g. casting, sintering, rolling, pulling, forging)
3. Thermal joining and cutting (e.g. welding, soldering, bonding)
4. Coating (e.g. lacquering, galvanizing)
5. Installation, examination and quality control, maintenance and repair of machines as well as apparatus and devices used in mechanical engineering and process engineering in a manufacturing or maintenance workshop.

We recommend that the mandatory pre-studies placement is fully completed before your university courses begin in October. The registration application you send to the Office for Student Affairs must show that you have secured an accordant placement by attaching a placement contract or equivalent evidence provided by your placement employer. This also applies to mandatory pre-studies placements undertaken during the semester break. In the absence of such evidence you cannot be registered. It is therefore important that you start searching for a pre-studies placement as early as possible. Normal temporary jobs, vacation jobs or in-school placements will not be accepted. You must also submit a report on your pre-studies placement. In your first semester, the report, together with a record of what you did during the placement attested by your placement employer, must be handed in to the praxisbüro in the Faculty of Production Engineering. Be sure to take notice of Placements Regulations and the following FAQ‘s for details of how to organize pre-studies placements and the placement report. You can use the printed form below for the record of activities undertaken during the placement: Form “Record of Pre-studies Placement Activities BA PT�?
